Politics aside, is there any more practical reason Bay Area would prefer to have this train more than LA (e.g. people in Bay Area visit LA more often than people in LA visit Bay Area)?
- ubernostrum 8y agoSFO and LAX send a lot of traffic to each other (each one is the other's top domestic destination), and there doesn't seem to be a directional preference: https://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=LAX&carrier=FACTS https://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=LAX&... https://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=SFO&carrier=FACTS https://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=SFO&... There may be a practical argument that the HSR would make it easier to commute to SF from further away, which might relieve housing pressure a bit. But I really do think it mostly comes down to politics, and to there being more people in the SF area whose politics lean toward public transit/public works than in the LA area.
